# Right single quote

('â', my son.â But when you know the path of his coming or going, you donât grieve after him, for that is the nature of beings. Unasked, he came from there. Without permission, he went from here —coming from     where?— having stayed a few days. And coming one way from here, he goes yet another from there. Dying in the human form, he will go wandering on. As he came, so he has gone— so what is there to lament?" Pulling out —completely out— the arrow so hard to see, embedded in my heart, he [the Buddha] expelled from me —overcome with grief— the grief over my son. Today—with arrow removed, without hunger, entirely unbound— to the Buddha, Dhamma, & Saṃgha I go, for refuge to the Sage. See also: SN 47:13; AN 5:49; Ud 5:1; Ud 8:8; Sn 3:8; Thig 3:5 - --> - - - -
